Meliden (Gallt Melyd)

Meliden ( _cy. Gallt Melyd) is a village between Prestatyn and Dyserth in Denbighshire, Wales. It grew up around the locality of lead mines and limestone quarries. It is named after St. Melyd, hence the Welsh name Gallt Melyd, and has the church of St. Melyd as its main place of worship. The railway between Prestatyn and Dyserth, long since lifted and formerly with sidings in the village, is now a public walkway and nature trek. It has a 9-hole golf course, which is split in half by the former railway/nature walk. The local school, St. Melyd Primary is a feeder school to the High School, Prestatyn.
